The V3 ‘supergun’ of World War Two : Adolf Hitler’s last Vengeance/Retribution Weapon: the “annihilation weapon”

Abstract

During World War Two, three unique weapons were proposed to meet Adolf Hitler’s wish for vengeance and retribution against the British which he believed would finally yield victory to the Nazi side. They all required substantial technical development of new concepts. This paper gives a broad description of the last and potentially-devastating V3, which was intended for installation in the Pas de Calais to completely destroy London.
